ReplyDeleteThanks Carolyn....I'm okay sketching this busy little chap so long as he stays still some of the time..lol.
DeleteHamish looks adorable!! Love the little squirrel toy!! Dogs do love their toys!!
ReplyDelete....and he is very possessive over them too. lol :)
DeleteGreat little sketches. Hamish looks a very happy, playful dog and a joy to have around.
ReplyDeleteHe is playful, in fact we think he must be fitted with a Duracel battery sometimes, he just keeps going and going....

(I know, the name is very like Robin's, however, I have checked that Robin doesn't mind and she is fine with it. Such is the power of having such a great blogging friend).
Hamish looks like he's full of fun! And trouble!
ReplyDeleteWent to the panto yesterday.... Snow White. So funny. The little boys loved it. Blog about it soon!
You are so right Shammickite...Hamish is fun and trouble rolled into one! The Panto sounds like it was a great success. I quite like Panto's myself but don't get to them these days:( Looking forward to your post about Snow White.
DeletePriceless sketches of Hamish!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, Thanks Robin :)
DeleteWhat wonderful sketches Ann. I like your lovely loose style and these bring back memories of when my dogs were this age. Love them!
ReplyDeleteThank you John. Hamish, when he visits, and William make such great subjects, especially when I'm searching for something to draw :)
DeleteThese little paintings are so, so cute...and remind me of the illustrations in a vintage children's book I received for Christmas. The book is called 'What Do You Think?' and the author/illustrator is Rainey Bennett. If you have an opportunity to search for his work, I think you might like it. :)
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best in 2013, Ann! Thank you for always being such a friend to our blog.
Thank you so much, nice that you like my sketches. I haven't heard of Rainey Bennett but will look up the name and
DeleteHave a read. Happy New Year to all of you and hope 2013 will be very good to you.
The puppy paintings are adorable. Blessings, Janet PPF Happy New Year
ReplyDeleteThanks Janet - Happy New Year :)
DeleteSooo friggin' cute!!! Wonderful drawings. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteLol - Happy New Year Nora, may it be a very good one :)
DeleteThese are so fresh and lively - I love them. With your sense of humour I bet you enjoyed painting his little bum red on the first one!
ReplyDelete...I did Julie, he is such a little cutey :)
